If you've had all that water swirling about in the cills for a while, it may be prudent to spray something oily in there after you've emptied them just for a bit of protection.

Are they both The same engine? VVC or injection??

Tahiti Ted's clock.

I Was driving back from Salisbury to the West Midlands via the m5 in a mk1 tahiti blue with the top down Sunday before last. Was wearing a huge red body warmer and gloves! Bracing 100 odd mile drive at 70! Got more than a few waves from normal motors that passed me and one from a bright orange 73 BG...

Well after changing both sensors (blue and brown) and replacing a split pipe that I luckily found whilst I was doing it :o everything seems to be settling down. The temp level still drops a little if I cane it past 6.5k, even when the oil and water is warm, but I'm happy to live with that at the mom...

Oops I see talking cars got there before me, mea culpa.

Remember if you are dropping your top for any length of time, unzip your plastic window and lay it flat to stop it creasing and eventually splitting.

Yeah I thought thermostat at first but the heater works fine and driving today i kept a close eye on it and the temperature gauge was dropping out all over the shop. it kinda looked like a wiring problem would, so I've ordered the temp sensor anyway because if I'm going to take the access panel off ...

Ah ha.. Probably the temp sensor. Will change it out and let you know.

Evening all. I have kinda of a weird symptom, if it is a symptom... My mk1 VVC, tahiti ted, is running too cool. It takes a good 15 mins to warm up and never gets to half way on the temp gauge, the oil temp hardly gets above 60 and when it does get warm if I give it the beans, the temp guage plummet...

gaz, are these still available? i have a bid on flea bay for some right now, but would rather line the pockets of a member than some breakers yard.
let me know, i can pick them up this week end.
